I've had some birds showing up for the last two weeks at one of my little plots. Like clock work they have been there daily. Pulled my card today and Thursday at 318 the neighbors dog ran them out of there. Needless to say they haven't been back. I know it's only been two days but they were literally living in this area and now nothing. I know bobcats and coyotes scare turkeys all the time so I wouldn't think they would have left from that. Do you guys think they have totally changed their routine and moved out the area or do you think the dog scared them that bad and they will be back? I just want them to stick around another two weeks and don't want them to be gone.

Turkeys move miles a day sometimes in the spring. More will be there soon. But I hate a dog running loose so deal with the dog as you see fit

Them turkeys are gone for good! Heck if any new ones come through now and smell where that dogs been they'll just keep on moving also! Best to just never hunt there again!

Kill that dam dog. Be done with it

I had same thing happen but thankfully the turkey showed right back up the next day after I had a picture of a dog in my plot

Well it's been two days and they haven't showed back up. The dog ruined several deer hunts which made me angry but I take turkey a little more seriously than deer so I will not be as lenient.

not about turkeys, but at my house I am surrounded by the sorriest dogs known to man. I read the thread title and it immediately
Reminded me how much I'd like to take them out. I love a dog as much as the next man, but when your sorry ankle biter yaps the entire day in the yard it's just too much. And another dog chimes in with his crying to really complete the symphony. People just don't care, I'd have a bark collar on my dog so fast if he was doing that.

My thing is just put up a fence...no reason to have a dog that can just wander around and do as he pleases. Does any have a pit bull I could borrow for a couple days? Lol

Repeat offender. Ball of hamburger meat with a razor blade inside. Bye bye.

I hear you clark! ppl cant just let their dog out and wander all around! lol

I keep my dog at home and respect my neighbors. I have no problems killing their dog if they don't return the favor.

My Dad use to catch and put them in the back of his pickup truck and take them for a ride and drive up to the neighbors house at dinner time. He would blow the horn and they would come out on the front porch...He would ask them "Is this your dog". Neighbor says "Yes, I sure appreciated you bringing him home". Dad "Do you want me to bring him home every time I find him on my property". Neighbor "Yes, please, thank you". Dad "The next time he will be laying down in the back of my truck". Neighbor "Whoa, I understand now".

Haha Red that is a good way to do it! But if they don't want to keep their dog off or are rude a sponge cut up in square soaked in antifreeze inside of some hamburger will cure your problem. Works great for coyotes and bobcats too
